A RICH African.

fippa 1bb, khe Greatest slave and livery
Trader In the world.
The wealthiest man in Central Africa
ID now on his way to the Indian Ocean
in response to a letter from The Sultan
Of Zanzibar requesting visit from him.
His name is Tippu Tib, and he lives not
far from Nyangwc, the great trading
point Of many black tribes on the upper
Congo. Readers Of African books Of
travel have heard good deal Of Tippu
Tib, and as recent years hare greatly
increased his power and wealth, we are
likely 10 hear much Of him.
T;ppn Tjb is only forty.fiyc years old,
black rs coal. and of negroid blood,
which means that he comes of an ad-
mixture Of the coast tribes of East
Africa and has also a very little Arab
blood in his veins He has been in Cen.
trai Africa for twenty-five years. and Is
to-day the greatest slave and ivory
raider in the world. He has outstripped
all his competitors through sheer iorcs
Of intellect and strength OF character.
As long ago rs the time when Cameron
introduced him 10 our notice he visited
Syangwe snd told the bullying traders
there that il they did not leave certain
nat've allies OF his alone it would be the
worse for them. They lost no time In
pic 'ging eternal peace with Tippu Tib
and all his friends.
Cameron says Tippu Tib was the
greatest dandy he saw among the trad
ers Of Africa, and that. although of
nccroid blood, he was thorough Arab
in manners and ideas All his white
visitors speak of tho elegance OF his
Arab attire and Of his courtly and afTa-
bic bearing. Stanley says that at his
first meeting with Tippu Tit he regard
I'd him as the most remarkable man he
had met among the Arabs, Wa Swahili
and half castes Of Africa. Lieutenant
Van Gale. Of the Congo State, who met
Tippn Tib in January lass. says he was
surprised by the extent of his informa.
ION on European topic. He was
familiar with cycnis oct urripg in
Europe, and was particularly interested
n The English. Germans anil Belgians.
The questions he asked me-" says Van
Gale, showed that he Is neither an iy-
norant man nor one OF ordinary mind..''
He said he intended some day 10 90 10
Europe, visit the King of the Belgians.
and also spend some time In Constanti-
noplc.
In Tippu Tbs home, south Of
Nyangwe, Cameron says that large
gangs Of slaves walking about in chains
net his eye at every turn. They were
leading easy lives, were well fed, and
he saw no sets Of cruelty there. All had
been victims, however, OF the CRYING
wrongs thaS are still decimatinx the
simple savagcs Of Africa. They had
been surprised in their peaceful homes
by the sudden onslaught Of Tippu
Tbs ruthless soldier slaves. who had
burned their huts, killed their friends
and dragged them o6 into captivity.

THEosoPHY EXPLAINED.
a C0ncise Descriptions Of . Belief Held b.
May Aesthetic Isosionasns.

a Concise DeseriptIon Of Belief Held By
Maay Aesthetic Tsosionssss.
The Boston Record describes In tho
following brief manner the belief OF that
curious sect In Buimah calling them
selves Theosophists, Of which Madam
Blavatsky. of Russia, and Colonel Oh.
colt, OF our own country, both residing
In Bombay. are prominent converts.
Publications containing the writings
Of both Of these persons are sent TO this
country by each departing Bombay
mail. and II is said that they are Great
ing somc interest among class OF orig
inal thinkers in Boston.
Taking the broad fact of mind and
matter having been ndjudged separate
entities or states of being, the theosoph-
lists proceed to build upon this stated
fact. They claim that while the body
lies sleeping, or inert through trance,
the soul, by which they mean the mind,
or viii, is capable of travelling to dis
tant places, noting the events, holding
converse, ere she. the soul. rcturus To
her waiting and unconscious body. A
theosophist speaks Of his astral bcdy.'
of It's power TO visit those places which
bis soul, or mind, or will, has prcvi-
ously determined upon visiting.
TO mention the conditions
first, theosophists state that an aura
surrounds them, not only thcosophists
in particular, but all people. Aura Is
species OF atmosphere, impregnatcd
with the electrical essences. animal
magnetism or chemical gases that our
bodies are constantly discharging; this,
encountering the ordinary cir, Is not
dispclled or disseminated, as might bo
naturally expected; bait to call is
human essence for the sake of illustra-
tration, this discharged human essence
gnthers TO itself certain portion OF the
ordinary air that surrounds MS. which IL
pcrmeates with our own desires and
vitality. Therefore 1t will be seen that
this aura IL always with US, and ready
for all emergencies.
The way that transference Is effected
Is that thcosophist wishing to appear
in distant city or foreign land seeks
seelusion. and then bends the whole
force of his mind upon the desire to
reach that place. Finally, he either
falls asleep or succunsbs 70 . self-in-
duccd trance. During the sleep or
trance the body lends portion of its
vitality, certain portion having been
elected by the will, the soul is enabled
10 clothe herself In the waiting aura,
and thus become an astral body, an ex-
act counterpart of the sleeping one, and
then proceed upon her aerial Journey"
